Trump Backs Continued ICE Traffic Stops
11 hours ago
President Donald Trump says Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers should continue making vehicle stops despite recent deadly encounters involving federal immigration agents.
His comments appear to conflict with a new administration directive suspending most ICE vehicle stops following two fatal shootings in just over a week.
Homeland Security officials say immigration arrests and deportations will continue, though exceptions to the pause are expected for criminal warrants and certain joint law enforcement operations.
The debate comes as ICE enforcement tactics face growing criticism after three people died during encounters with federal officers in one week.
